HOCKEY; Rangers Looking at Iginla

Published: February 13, 2003

SUNRISE, Fla., Feb. 12—
Glen Sather has stockpiled the Rangers' roster with marquee names like Mark Messier, Eric Lindros, Pavel Bure, Bobby Holik and Aleksei Kovalev in his three years as president and general manager, and he may not be finished dealing.

The Rangers are interested in trading for the Calgary Flames' young superstar, Jarome Iginla, whom the low-budget Flames cannot afford, a National Hockey League team official acknowledged tonight.

Calgary General Manager Craig Button has indicated he would have to receive established players with low salaries in return, something the Rangers do not have in abundance.

But forward Jamie Lundmark's name would be sure to come up in discussions for Iginla, a 25-year-old right wing who led the league in goals and points last season.

Another player the Rangers would probably offer is the the 25-year-old right wing Radek Dvorak, who has just 5 goals this season.
